I had an argument with mother regarding my current grades and gender presentation. I'll skip the grades part, but essentially she's under some peer pressure to get me into the best med school in the country. Her colleague's daughter goes to the second best med school and son goes to Caltech, and in order to avoid shaming the family, I must be the best. I adore medicine-it's my favorite thing on this planet, but lady, my grades ain't that stellar. I would be fucking ecstatic if I even get into one of the twelve med schools. Now the gender part. I am seriously fearing for my own safety now. Quotes from today- "From now on, when I tell you to wear a dress, you wear a dress. I will go out and buy dresses tomorrow." "Your uncle asked me what the fuck is wrong with you and told me to get you a doctor" "If you continue to look like a man, either you'll die or I'll die" "Are you a transsexual?" "You publicly shamed me at the Gap" (see my previous thread.) All translated with the best of my ability despite feeling like I should go out and break something. Fucking hell.:bang:
I'll post to your wall after work today. Your mother sounds exactly like mine... Hang in there, buddy. (*hug*)
